Yes iits heavy probably 100 lbs if I had to guess.
Yeah the factory mounts are flimsy u have to cut them off and WAM Bumpers includes all New mounting hardware and New Mounting Brackets and they are solid .
I use mine off-roading alot trail riding and mud bogging so this is not a Mall Crawler .

Thanks Bob!
Been wanting to get this done for a long time.
The front was easy but those rears were a bit more challenging.
Beefy stuff.

Yup, you're right. I was actually hoping to try to mount mine to the existing mounts at one point but I had already started cutting one off so just continued. Here's how I ultimately got it mounted... bolted to the frame, 4 bolts each side, 2 top, 2 bottom. Cut a decent sized hole on the opposite side of the frame to get the nuts onto the bolt. It's a bit of a challenge balancing the nut on the tip of the finger to get it onto the bolt. Bumper isn't going anywhere .

Not yet brother don't got the time working 6 days a week and Sundays I'm to tired.
I'm hoping to be able to do something over Christmas holidays when I got time off work.
I done burned up my vacation days so I can't use that. But we will see what happens..

I hear ya! I had mine sitting around for a month or two as well before getting around to getting it mounted. Even now, it's not quite done but done enough to where I'm not that motivated to finish her off given the other things I've got going on .
